40. Yamato-take Dwells in the Palace of Sakawori

1When, forthwith crossing over from that land out into Kahi, he dwelt in the palace of Sakawori, he sang, saying:

2“How many nights have I slept since passing Nihibari and Tsukuha?”

3Then the old man, who was the lighter of the august fire, completed the august Song, and sang, saying:

4“Oh! having put the days in a row, there are of nights nine nights, and of days ten days!”

5Therefore [Yamato-take] praised the old man, and forthwith bestowed [on him] the Rulership of the Eastern Land[s].

WEBREATH · 11:11

«From the true-mist of her breath Gods were born» — Nihongi 1:7

Breath is one for all: everyone lives by it, whoever they are and whatever they believe. Every day at 11:11 local time people stop for sixty seconds, breathe, and thank GOD for the breath — each in their own words, each within themselves. In that minute we are One Breath.

WEBREATH — the Minute at 11:11, your own local time — we are One Breath
